For the second time we are launching the GOTO Copenhagen conference in May 2012 after a successful execution in 2011. GOTO Aarhus has been an annual event in Denmark since 1996 and attracts more than 1200 participants (formerly known as JAOO).

The distinction between bricks and cement is useful to identify holes and biases in our knowledge. But this distinction can also (erroneously, I believe) lead to identifying them as two different knowledge forms. What you identify as the 'cement' is certainly conceptual and theoretic, but the 'bricks' can be this too. Knowledge of bricks does not equate simply to empirical knowledge, it can be conceptual too.
